My Possessive Admirer 29 A Childish Act: Part 1

That day inside Rex's car I didn't talk much. My heart was beating out of fear thinking that Rex can be Ben. He can be the person I loved so madly & also the person who put me in danger. I wanted to ask him about that night again. But my locker room incident with him warned me not to talk to him about it and also if he's not Ben then I'll be just dragging Rex into my messy life. I didn't want another person to be Ben's next target. When It was surprising when I reached my home without me showing him my way home because I swear I never told him my address before.

"How did you know my address?" I asked him being shocked and scared.

"I have followed you before," He answered

smirking.

I smiled nervously trying to make myself understand that this is normal. But was it really!

He didn't seem embarra.s.sed about it. It was like he followed girls before and this is nothing for him. I wouldn't be surprised though if he had a girlfriend before. Because if he is Ben there is no guarantee that he is speaking the truth.

The following day when I reached university,

"Bella didn't you sleep well last night?" A friendly pat behind my back made me realize I was going the opposite direction rather than going to my cla.s.sroom.

"Swetha!" I was so relieved to see her. We didn't talk much these days. So many things happened I hardly had time to talk to her.

"You seem distracted you ok?" She asked sighing.

"I really need a hug Swetha!" I asked for a hug shamelessly. She was one the person I could relate to like I did with Jake and Helena.

"Oh that reminds me how is Jake?" I said while having a warm hug from her.

"Oh 'Mr Hot Shot' he is totally fine!" She said giving me a wink.

" I'm just asking don't make a different meaning out of this Swetha!" I said pouting.

"Talking about me huh girls? May I join?" I heard Jake's voice from behind.

"Jake?" I looked back feeling a warm sensation behind me.

Jake put one of his hand on my shoulder looking at me in the eyes.

"You are getting red Bella! You OK?" Jake said smirking.

"Yes Jake! Bella is getting red like a tomato these days a lot everytime I mention you. I wonder why!" Swetha said joining Jake.

"Oh you guys plz don't make weird a.s.sumptions. I'm fine!" I said pouting and started ahead of them hiding my shyness.

"Haha Bells! Wait up" They said coming behind me.

"Yo Jake!" I heard one the players of our basketball ball team calling him. My eyes locked on the outer basketball court where Rex was standing looking at with his eyes locked as well. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him. I started to feel an unusual sensation thinking that Rex could be Ben.

"We are one player short bro! Rex's team really f.u.c.ked us up. He is a dangerous player lol, one from our team member got injured," The other team's boy said to Jake.

"Ah sure I'll join!" Jake said without even giving a second thought.

I looked away from Rex as I understood what was gonna happen right now.

"Jake noo don't! You don't have to play!" I said looking at Jake worried as h.e.l.l. What if Rex is Ben. Ben saw me with Jake before, that day when I visited Josh in hospital. What if he tries to hurt Jake. No I can't let that happen.

"Jake please!" I grabbed Jake T s.h.i.+rt which made Rex flinch.

"Haha Bells I'll be just fine. You just wait and watch," He said smiling his brightest smile.

"Jake! Please be careful!" I let go of his s.h.i.+rt because I understood I was creating a scene which was attracting people around us. Many girls already started gathering hearing about Jake and Rex's match.

"Gosh Bells you are so lucky!" Swetha said giving me a soft punch on the shoulder.

"Now let's see which one of your lover wins shall we?" She laughed.

"Swetha no you!" I was trembling in fear worrying about Jake. But I'm not sure Rex is Ben either. Ugh what should I do!
